Here's to the ladies who lunch
Everybody laugh
Lounging in their caftans
And planning a brunch
On their own behalf
(This is for us)
Off to the gym
Then to a fitting
Claiming they're fat
(Yes)
And looking grim
'Cause they've been sitting
Choosing a hat
Does anyone still wear a hat?
(Nobody, nobody I know)
I'll drink to that
And here's to the girls who stay smart
Aren't they a gas?
(Aren't they a gas?)
Rushing to their classes in optical art
Wishing it would pass
Another long exhausting day
Another thousand dollars
A matinee, a Pinter play
Perhaps a piece of Mahler's
I'll drink to that
And one for Mahler!
And here's to the girls who play wife
Aren't they too much?
(Too much, too much, too much)
Keeping house but clutching a copy of LIFE
Just to keep in touch
(Just to keep in touch)
The ones who follow the rules
And meet themselves at the schools
Too busy to know that they're fools
Aren't they a gem?
(Oh my god, they're so brilliant)
I'll drink to them!
Let's all drink to them!
(Let's all drink to them!)
Come on!
Here's to the girls who just watch
Aren't they the best?
(Or they're just depressed, brilliant)
When they get depressed
It's a bottle of Scotch
(Yes)
Plus a little jest
(Ah, ah)
Another chance to disapprove
Another brilliant zinger
Another reason not to move
Another vodka stinger
I'll drink to that
I'll drink to that too
(Let's raise the glass, come on girls)
So here's to the girls on the go
Everybody tries
(Everybody tries)
Look into their eyes
And you'll see what they know
Everybody dies
A toast to that invincible bunch
The dinosaurs surviving the crunch.
Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch
Everybody rise!
Everybody rise!
Everybody rise!
Everybody rise!
Come on girls!
Everybody rise!
To the ladies who lunch
Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch
Another vodka stinger
Hear it for the ladies who just lunch
Everybody rise!
Everybody rise!
Everybody rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!
Everybody rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!
Everybody rise!
Rise! Rise! Rise!
Last call girls
Rise! Rise! Rise!
Rise! Rise! Rise!
Everybody rise!
Come on girls
